Easy Game Day Recipes are those that allow you to really enjoy the day without having to prepare complicated menu items.
Game day food needs to be simple because when you are hosting a gathering, you want the time (and energy) to be present with your guests and maybe even watch the game.
No Super Bowl spread is complete without some tried-and-true favorites. Glazed chicken wings are a must-have, and you can't go wrong with cla traditional hot wings or get creative with flavor variations like Soy Garlic wings.
Seven-layer dip is another crowd favorite, offering a delicious combination of flavor with each scoop.
Crispy Potato Skins are another favorite for parties.
These recipes are all winners in my book as are sliders. These Pulled pork sliders and these easy hamburger sliders offer flavor and fun, while being a heartier appetizer.
Check out all these great treats for your next game or gathering. These also make great treats for a football tailgate or any time of TV viewing party.
No Super Bowl Party would be complete with out dips. This Beau Monde Dip recipe is classic for parties and game day.

Timesaving Tips and Helpful Hints
- Variety is key: Offer a mix of hot and cold appetizers, savory and sweet, and finger foods and dips to cater to different preferences.
- Make Ahead when Possible: Prepare as much as possible in advance to avoid being stuck in the kitchen during the game. Dips, pinwheels and baked appetizers can be made ahead and reheated, if necessery
- Presentation matters: If you are hosting a super bowl party, arrange your appetizers attractively on platters and bowls, using fun Football decor to create visual appeal.

Thanks Catherine!

I think we will be watching the big game. We will have just gotten home from Disney.
Everything it with the bug is pretty much my favorite. I even told my husband I wanted pigs in a blanket at our wedding the way I had it at my Bat Mitzvah. I love appetizers. I love pizza poppers and chips and dips.
Raquel
That sounds like a great way to unwind after your vacation and I am definitely with you on the appetizers. Enjoy Disney World Tamara - can't wait to see your photos!

Hi Raquel! Wow... your blog looks amazing! I've been so bad to stay in touch with you... well... with the world... I am just getting back into blogging more regularly.... I guess I should also say "Happy New Year" (whew, at least it's still January!) ... You'll see me around!
Raquel

I'm missing out on Super Bowl parties this year because I'm in Florida with my parents and my kiddos. But I'm soooo going to pin this for when there's a pot luck or game event. I'm always struggling on what to serve or bring...
Raquel
Oh I love that you are still in Florida with your family Gracielle! Thanks for stopping by!
